Which battery did you go with?

I mean look how cute they are

Did a search here and online but not everyone agrees on a clear treatment. For those unfamiliar, Lyngbya sp. is a cyanobacterium that looks like hair algae. In fact I always thought it was hair algae that nothing liked to eat until I ran across it in an old post somewhere. It doesn't have a...

I've found that the new Avid Aqua holders are pretty urchin resistant. @Invictus and I were thinking of doing a group buy for the club (on the next BOD meeting agenda).

What do you think happened? Flow off too long or epoxy chemicals if you used a ton?

You find what your Mg consumption rate is then calculate how much your evaporation rate is, then dissolve the Mg in there at the concentration you need. To make your own powder stock (Randy's recipe), recipe is 3 cups MgSO4 (epsom salts) to 5 cups MgCl (mag flake). It will soak up water from the...

Honestly, I don't think the AFR is serving you well if your big numbers are way off where you want to be AND you're still dosing traces separately (without doing any ICP I'm assuming) and having to manually correct Mg and Alk. You might as well do kalk on a pump plus traces manually and dose Mg...

Tip for the MP40s. Usually you want to place them about a foot under the surface and set them up to antisync if you can. If the two non quiet drive ones are wireless they should be able to talk to each other. The third will work on its own.

Try a peppermint if you're in the East Bay, Kenny at High Tide carries the right species. @robert4025 at Neptune carries the right species too if you're in the South Bay. I've bought shrimp from both multiple times with success.

76.5-78F to reduce heater on off cycles. Haven't done much lower since I can't maintain those sub 76F temps in the summer. You'll want hotter in QT systems to burn though parasite life cycles faster though or if going through fallow periods.

I need that next time for the frag swap pizza delivery

Making good progress on your garage!

I got splashed the other night from about 4 feet away with a ton of water cause of my yellow wrasse being an idiot. Glad you have a good net now! They grow really fast too, mine has doubled in size over about 3 months.

@fingerwrinkles is where I got mine over 22 years ago lol

Gotcha yeah wasn't sure what it came with. You can see in Colin's systems it's just a shared sump with lots of simple drains and valves.

Seems like an interesting design, main overflow has a strainer with two high emergency overflows. Does it have a gate valve underneath?

Yep my tank has a similar design so it grabs junk from the water column as well as surface skim.

Sold out now lol
